Improved material for the manufacture of paper-pulp



Nfrrnn STATESg M. L. DEERING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ANNUNCIATOR.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5l,S09,-datcd January2, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, M. L. DEERING, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Annunciators; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification.

The object of the present invention is to obviate the use of a series ofbells, one for each room in the house or those with which theannunciator is connected; it consisting in a novel arrangement of parts,whereby, with the use ot' only two bells of different intonations, agreat combination of sounds can be produced sufficient for indicatingthe number of a considerable many rooms, say from one to thirty, withoutcausing any confusion of sounds which would prevent their being plainlyunderstood or read after the system oi' such sounds has been onceexplained.

In accompanying plate of drawings my improvements are illustrated,Figure l, Plate 1, being a front view of the operating devices forimparting the necessary movements to the hammers ofthe bells used forstriking or sounding them, and also showing the connection between them,through wires, and the various rooms of the house in which theannunciator may be placed, Fig. 2, Plate 2, a plan or top view of Fig.l; and Figs. 3 and 4L detail views ot' portions ol the annunciator,reference to which will be particularly made in the following detaildescription.

a et in the drawings represent a board secured upon legs or supports bb, to which board the devices constituting my improved annunciator areattached for an illustration thereof, but which in practice willprobably be secured directly upon the wall of a room or some {ixturethereof.

yHung upon the board a, and in a vertical plane turning upon a xed shortshaft or rod, c, of the same, is awheel, d, having a series ot' teeth, ff, Svc., around its periphery, together with a similar number of shortprojecting studs or pins, g g, placed midway between each tooth. On thefront face of the wheel l are also a series of outward-projecting pins,h h, two between each and every stud g of the rim or periphery of thewheel. Back ofthe wheel d, and turning upon its shaft c, is a radialarm, l. projecting beyond the periphery ot' the wheel d, with the teethotl which, through a springpawl, m., it engages, a coiled spring, n,being coiled about the shaft c and connected with the arm I. forretracting the same, as will be presently explained.

o o o o are a series of wires passing through a guide'plate, p, at oneend of the board, which wires extend to the separate and various roomsor apartments ofthe houseor building in which the annunciator may beplaced, and severally pass through tixed projecting-armspp p upon theback of the radial arm l, each wire having a tappet, q, upon its end r,which, as such wire is drawn or pulled, abuts against the xed rod of theradial arm through which it lnay be passed, thus causing the radial armto be swung toward the right of the board, its pawl,as it swings backthrough the action of the coiled spring, revolving the toothed wheel din direct proportion to the distance which it has been drawn over thewheel by such movement of the radial arm.

sis a spring lever-arm hung upon a fulcrum, t, oi' the board, providedwith a hammer, u, at one end, for striking, when properly operated,thebell n, secured upon a fixed post, fw, of the board. and engaging at itsother end, w', with the studs got' the wheel d, which studs, as thewheel revolves in the direction of the arrows through the action of theradial-arm pawl upon it, as explained, each in turn, or successively,operate the lever in such a manner as to cause its hammer to strike thebell, the sounds thus produced upon the bell being always equal innumber to the number of teeth the wheel is so revolved.

It is intended that all the bell-wires o o shall have the samelength ofmovement, and, when drawn or pulled, are retracted by spiral springs orother suitable means properly applied to them, the wheel being revolvedeither more or less, according as the wire passes through a radial-armrod near to or far from its center or fulcrum-shaft c, as isobviouswithout further explanation.

From the above description it is obvious that as the bell, by pullingcertain wires, is sounded a certain number oi times, by conducting suchwires to the rooms of the house UNITE@ STATES PATENT Ormea@ ANTHOINE DEGOGORZA, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5|,Sl 0, dated January2, 1865- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHOINE DE GoeoRzA, of New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedMaterial for Paper-Pulp; and I do hereby declare that the following,` isa full and exact description of the same.

The nature ofmy invention consists in converting the ber of the bark ofPauwetr'a platcmijohc7-so described by Humboldta tropical tree of thenatural order of the malboceai-into a pulp closely resembling thatobtained from linen or cotton, suitable for making,` a strong, White,and opaque paper of ne quality.

Io enable others skilled in the art to make use of my invention, I Willproceed to describe it.

I take the strongweb-like ligetto fibers as they come to this country,and boil them in a weak alkaline solution, which frees them from theresinous and albuminous substances that hinder the bleaching,` process.I have found Water containing three (3) per cent. of the hydrate ofpotash, and even less, to accomplish thispurpose perfectly. The fibersare now ready for bleaching, and are treated as ordinary rags in l[hemaking' of paper, and as the process is well known to all papermakers Iwill not describe it. When bleached it is ready for converting intopulp, which makes a strong, white, and opaque paper. The bers, takenbefore the process of .bleaching is applied, make a strong` brown paper,somewhat resembling the Manila paper of the trade.

I disclaim any process or method of preparing these fibers; but

WhatI claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, asa new article of manufacture, is-

A pulp suitable for the manufacture of paper obtained from the ber ofthe bark of the Paurretfic platamfolm of Humboldt, a tropical tree ofthe natural order of the malboceai, whether used alone or in combinationwith other fibrous substances, in the manufacture of paper,substantially as above described.
